Propel Advanced
Ultimate Speed
Get the most from your hard-earned pedaling power. Whether it’s squeezing out more speed on solo rides or taking bragging rights in the group, the new lighter, smoother Propel Advanced makes the thrill of road speed accessible to all.
Key Performance Factors
Instant Speed
In the moments when explosive speed matters most, the new Propel Advanced is quicker and more dynamic than ever. The frameset is lighter than the previous generation with greater torsional stiffness and pedaling stiffness—so you feel instantaneous reaction when you make your move.
Sustained Speed
A reengineered frameset and integrated components combine for a smoother ride when you’re rolling in the group or piling up training miles. The Vector seatpost offers greater compliance compared to the previous generation, while the fork and integrated cockpit absorb bumps and vibrations up front. And additional tire clearance allows for high-volume tires up to 32mm, further smoothing out the ride to help you maintain higher speeds with less fatigue.
Top-End Speed
The frameset, cockpit, wheels and tires form a unified system that lowers total resistance when you’re pushing high speeds. The AeroSystem frame and integrated cockpit minimize drag, while the aero WheelSystem and tires reduce rolling resistance. That means more speed for taking pulls, rolling off the front, or driving the pace across flats and over climbs.
Highlights
A lightweight composite frameset with AeroSystem Shaping technology forms the heart of this reengineered road machine. It’s designed as a full-bike solution to minimizing resistance, integrating the frame and components more seamlessly to help you unlock higher speeds. The cockpit gives it a sleek aero profile with internal cable routing, while the Vector seatpost combines aero shaping with added compliance to help smooth out bumps and road vibrations. An integrated WheelSystem with 50mm deep rims and tubeless aero tires reduce rolling resistance, while added frame and fork clearance lets you run high-volume tires (up to 32mm) for smooth, efficient control.

AEROSYSTEM SHAPING
Strategically engineered airfoil sections use truncated ellipse tubing to more effectively reduce drag compared to traditional teardrop shaped tubes. The system is developed and proven through CFD modeling and wind-tunnel testing at a wide range of yaw angles.
2
ADVANCED COMPOSITE
High-performance grade raw carbon material is used to produce this custom frame material in our own composite factory with a high stiffness-to-weight ratio. The front triangle is assembled and molded as one continuous piece in a proprietary manufacturing process called Modified Monocoque Construction.
3
COMPOSITE FORK
Advanced-grade composite fork features a symmetric design and aero shaping, along with disc-brake integration and increased clearance for tires up to 32mm. The design makes it lighter, stiffer and more aerodynamic.
4
GIANT WHEELSYSTEM
Engineered with proprietary Dynamic Balanced Lacing technology and 50mm deep composite rims, this aero WheelSystem delivers superior efficiency, pinpoint control and supreme aerodynamics.
5
AERO HANDLEBAR/STEM
Integrated composite handlebar/stem unit features aero shaping with flat handlebar tops and raised edges to help riders maintain a stable aero position. Internal cable routing further improves aerodynamics while maintaining ease of setup and adjustment.
6
OVERDRIVE AERO
The D-shaped fork steerer tube and corresponding spacers provide an extremely aerodynamic, easy-to-service system of internally routed brake and derailleur cables.
7
INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING
The frame, handlebar and stem are designed with ports and channels to keep cables hidden from the wind while allowing for easy adjustability.
8
AERO BOTTLE CAGES
Custom-engineered down tube and seat tube specific bottle cages help reduce overall aerodynamic drag.
9
VECTOR SEATPOST
This proprietary seatpost design offers the perfect balance of light weight, aerodynamic performance and compliance, along with easy saddle installation and adjustment.
